Pour in the teriyaki sauce and drained pineapple chunks.
1 cup teriyaki sauce, 8 oz pineapple chunks
Stir so the meatballs are evenly coated.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
Serve!

Notes

Use 2 pounds of your favorite frozen, fully cooked meatball. Beef is shown but chicken, pork, turkey, or plant/veggie based all work well.
I use a 6 quart slow cooker but as small as 4 quart will work.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
